At any time, you can open a test plan and view the test
results. In this lesson, you log in as the test manager and view the
test log that was generated during the New Customer
Order Test Case test run.
When you execute a test, you can view the results immediately,
or you can later access the results through a test execution record's
history.
- Log in as the test manager (Userid: mary, Password: mary).
- Open the test plan by pointing to the Planning icon
(
), and clicking View
Test Plans.
- In the View Builder window, deselect My
test plans only, and click Run.
- From the list of test plans, click Classics

Note: If you have the test plan open from the previous lesson,
click Test Plan Overview to display the Table

and then click the Test Execution Records section.
Notice the last result for the test execution record that you previously
executed has changed to the Blocked icon (
). Also, the Actual Result has changed
to Failed. Click the icon in the Last Result
column to open the results history: Tip: To
expand the Test Case section, close the Related Sites panel by clicking
the arrow between the Test Case section and the Related Sites Panels.

You can then view the
results of any executed test by clicking the icon in the Execution
Result column:

The Execution Result
displays an overview of the test. You can link to the test case or
test script that was used during execution. You can also link to any
defects added, or you can add other new or existing defects.

The
Result Details outline the steps that were executed, along with its
result, so you can see at what step a test failed or a defect was
reported. The defect that you created is attached to step 10. You
can point to the Defect icon (
), and click the Defect ID
to open it.

By analyzing your test runs, you can identify trends and spot
where bottlenecks exist in your project.
